Sedgefield Subdivision

Rules and Guidelines for Recreational Facilities

A sign listing pool rules is mounted above the pool house water fountain. Please acquaint yourself with them.

Children 12 and under and nonswimmers under 21 must have adult swimmer supervision. Do not send small children to the pool with an adolescent babysitter to supervise them as this violates this pool rule.
No diving is allowed because it is too shallow. Always enter the pool feet first.
Please keep entry gates closed as you enter or exit the pool; close, but do not slam, the gates securely. Please do not open the gates to someone unless you know the person and the person lives in Sedgefield. Especially, do not let children in if an adult does not accompany them.
If you are new to Sedgefield and the family before you did not leave you keys to the pool and tennis courts, or if you have lost your keys, please call Gloria Blackwell (675-6087) and arrange for key replacements. If you are a new resident you will not be charged for keys; if you have lost them, the charge is $2 each.
Any swimming lessons given at the pool MUST have prior approval of the Homeowner’s Association Board. Lessons are restricted to the children living in this subdivision. There are guidelines as to the qualifications and insurance liability of the proposed instructor as well as hours of instruction. Again, this arrangement must be approved in advance by the Board.
The pool itself must be illuminated for nighttime swimming. Although an automatic timer activates the switch, the switch is usually left in the “off” position until turned on by those using the pool. The switch is located to the right of the pool storage room on the Mapletree side of the pool. If you are the first to arrive for evening swimming or the last to leave, please set the switch accordingly.
All parties and special group swim requests must have the advance approval of the Recreation Committee. Please call David Mabry (675-2719) several days ahead, and remember the pool cannot be closed to other resident guests during your gathering. You, as the resident guest, are responsible for all cleanup activities associated with your gathering and you are also responsible for any damages done to the pool or pool facilities or amenities by anyone in your party. As a result of action taken at the annual association meeting regarding concerns over the number of individuals involved in some group events at the pool, group events are limited to no more than 10 people and a refundable deposit of $50 is required prior to scheduling the event.
Please be sure to lock the tennis court gate when finished. If playing at night, turn off lights when finished. The light switches for the tennis court lights are located on the panel by the electric meter near the entrance to the tennis court parking lot.
Bicycles, skateboards, or other riding equipment of any kind, which would damage or cause premature wear and tear to the tennis court surface, are not permitted. Also, pets are not allowed inside either the tennis courts or pool fence area. Do not allow children to climb on, straddle or swing on the tennis court nets.

Although these items are not found in the rules, they certainly require your attention:

· Parents, please accompany your small children to the restroom. Although it happens infrequently, children have made a mess on the floor and other inappropriate places. No one but the responsible party and parents should have to clean up after such a mess.
· Parents, please do not allow your children to walk or run in the planted area at the pool. Flowers planted there by the hard work of volunteers are for everyone’s enjoyment. Insist your children show the proper respect and behavior by avoiding this area.
· The wooded area and trail is for everyone. Children who go to the woods to play should not make additional foot trails, cut or damage trees or shrubs, play with matches, litter or in any way damage or deface this natural area.

Finally, we would like to remind all residents the posted speed limit in Sedgefield is 25 m.p.h. There are many children in our subdivision and many of them walk or ride their bikes throughout Sedgefield. Obviously, some streets like the downhill side of Mapletree which passes by the pool or the upper portion of Sweetgum as it approaches Sedgefield Drive are of special concern. Unfortunately, too many of us (adults and teens) significantly exceed the posted speed limit in our hurry to get to our destinations. Please observe the posted speed limit throughout the neighborhood and be on the constant lookout for kids on foot, bicycle, skates, etc. Remember that pedestrians always have the right-of-way.

By knowing and heeding these rules and guidelines, you will help to make Sedgefield Subdivision and its recreational facilities the best in Farragut.
